As you can see in the images above, both the displays are great and it is really tough to pick a clear winner. When it comes to displays, it naturally boils down to one’s own preference. There are people who prefer Samsung’s rich and highly saturated Super AMOLED displays while others stick to True LCD colors. So which of the displays do you prefer? The true black Super AMOLED or the true color LCD?
